"I think i am the first one to review this cd that actually owns it. This album does in fact have arguably the best and most notorious rap song on it, Deep Cover, however other then that there are 2 other good songs. The rest are more techno then hip hop. One of the other songs on this cd that is great is Bridgette by the DOC. This is the only album you can find it on too. And the third track that is worth listening to is Nickel Slick Nigga by Kokane. I dont know why that song is on the Dr Dre cd, considering Dre doesnt produce it or spit 1 verse on it however im glad it is because without it, this would probably be a 3 star album, just because of Deep Cover and Bridgette."
Whole f'n show

"This is Dre's best album to date. It was made while he was still working for eazy e. It combines the best of dre's NWA days with the beginnings of the CHRONIC, which is when he was at his best."
Not worth buying

"This is simply a collection of some of Dr Dre's earlier songs which he either produced or rapped on (aside from "Nickel Slick Nigga" by Kokane which appears on this cd for no reason since Dr. Dre neither raps on it or produces it). I actually do own this album, and it is definetly not worth buying. There are 2 great tracks, "Deep Cover" and "Bridgette", and one mediocre track, "Nickel Slick Nigga", but other than that, this album is COMPLETE garbage. As a previous reviewer stated, the rest of the tracks sound more like techno as opposed to rap. Download those 3 tracks, but leave this album on the shelve."
Nothing special, just a Dre collection.

"This album is nothing special, it just has a couple highlights and that's about it. The only reason to buy this album is for a couple tracks all true gangsta rap fans should have. The classic collaboration "Deep Cover" with Snoop was their first collab together and is an instant classic. It doesn't get much better than that one. Also, "Bridgette" by The D.O.C. is a really nice story track about a girl that was left off of No One Can Do It Better because of the subject matter. It's a nice, bouncy track though. "Nickel Slick" by Kokane features one of his first appearances back in the days when Kokane was truly an up and comer in the G-Funk world. This track is much better than his newer appearances with Snoop. "Funky Flute" features a jazz flutist on Ruthless and the track is decent, finally including Dre a little bit. As for the rest of the album, we're left with a Michel'le track and a bunch of World Class Wreckin' Crew material that was either previously released or just not worth hearing. Why this album was released is still beyond me. But I wouldn't recommend it, unless you really want to own three or four really nice tracks along with a bunch of junk."
Dre and Snoop control the mic!
